Omnium Executive MBA

Program description

The Omnium Global Executive MBA is a general management MBA addressing core business disciplines from a global perspective. It involves a two-week foundation module, five short-term international residencies, online learning and a number of intensive virtual team projects. Omnium participants not only study at local universities but visit local businesses, meet local managers and run projects, cases and simulations addressing real challenges facing local companies. Students also learn from their peers who are international managers from diverse backgrounds and cultures.

Omnium is designed to be completed part-time while participants continue their work as managers. There are no geographical limits to participation. Students can live anywhere in the world and can move bases without hindrance. The 18-month-long Omnium program leads to separate MBA degrees from two exceptional, internationally recognized universities.
